VDL Research House

I should confess i am not a great Neutra fan. I suspect it might be because I compare him too much with Rudolph Schindler, whose best work I admire immensely and the ideas that you read in Neutra’s work you experience more directly in Schindler’s. Neutra’s VDL Research House in Silverlake, Los Angeles, is full of effects and while these might not individually be satisfying, the slightly awkward assembly of the parts is very charming.
